CANDY-PULLING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 28 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILBERT C. FAwKns, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Portland, county of Multnomah, State of Oregon, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Candy-Pulling Machines, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to candy pulling devices and has for its generalob]ect to obtain a simple, quick-acting and eflicient machine. Thisobject I attain by combining two sets of revolving crank-arms, servingas the candy pullers, one set rotating relatively faster .than theother, and associating there-. with the specific and incidental featuresof my invention hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is an end elevation of my candypulling main the claims.

chine; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my machine; and Figs. 3, l, 5, 6, 7and 8, are diagrammatic views showing the mode of operation of mymachine during the process'of pulling candy.

The running gear of my invention is mounted ona frame comprising sides,a, I), each provided with braces, c, d, and bolted together at the topby a bolt f, on which is mounted a spacing sleeve 6, by means of whichthe sides, a, b, are alined at the top. In the braces, c, c, isjournaled a shaft 9, on which are mounted driving pulleys h, from whichruns a belt 2', driving the larger pulley j, rigidly mounted on theshaft is, journaled in the bearings d, d, of the framemembers a, b. Theshaft is will, for convenience, be referred to as the primary shaft Onthe shaft 76 is also mounted a sprocket wheel Z, connected by a sprocketchain, m, with the smaller sprocket wheel n, rigid on the shaft 0, whichjournals in the bearings, 19, g, of the sides or frame-members a, b. Theshaft 0 will be designated in the claims as the secondary shaft. As

shown, the sprocket wheel Z, is twice the size of the sprocket wheel n,thus causing the shaft 0 to rotate twice as fast as the shaft is. On theopposite extremities of the latter are aflixed, exteriorly of the sidesof the machine frame, double crank-arms r, 1',

' g each provided at its lateral extremities with wardly projectingperpendicular pin '2), lo-.

cated atsuch distance from the axis of the shaft, .0, as to cause thecircles thereby de-v scribed to approximately intersect the axes of thearms 1*. The crank-arms, 7', u, revolve in the same direction, asindicated by the arrows in Fig. 2, and as the crank-arms u re,- volvetwice as fast v as the crank arms 1', the perpendicular pins 1) ontheextremities of the former will twice cross the path of theperpendicular pins,'s, t, on the extremities of the crank-arms r, duringeach revolution of the latter; and during the instance of each ofsuchcrossings the crank-arms 1' will be in vertical position.

In the diagrammatic views phown in Figs. 3 to 8, the path of travel ofthe pins 23, s, and '0 on one side of the machine, is shown, also themanner in which said pins draw the candy over the shaft 0.

The pins, 8,t and 'u are opposed to and partly overlie each other; andby referring to Fig. 2, it is seen that the machine is so contrived thatwhen the crank-arms, u, u, are in raised position the crank-arms, r, r,are entirely cleared; and in this position the placin of the batches ofcandy on the pins 8, t, of the double crank-arms, r, 1, may beconveniently done.

In Figs. 3 to 8 inclusive, the intersecting travel of the perpendicularpins of the intermoving crank-arms of my machine is diagrammaticallyshown. In Fig. 3 said pins are shown in the same relative positions asin Fig. 2. In Fig. ithe pin a has traveled o er its course to its lowestpointfand the pins s, 25, during the same interval, have made a quarterrevolution and are alined in vertical plane. In Fig. 5 the pin '0 hastraveled 90 degrees farther and the pins 8, t, 45 degrees; and so on,the pins will travel progressively until, as shown in Fig. 8, the strandof candy, 3 in the first instance, woundarou'nd the pins .9, t, has beenpulled over the shaft 0. The operation and pulling of the candy is thencontinued indefinitely.

In order to keep the strand of candy clear of the crank-arms r and u,and also from working off the ends of the perpendicular pins on saidarms, I make all of said pins with conical shoulders at both ends w andm, as more clearly shown in Fig. 1.

I claim:

1. In a candy pulling machine, the com-, bination of a frame; a primaryrevolving primary extremities of such double crank-arm; a

ing such shaft; a secondai'y revolving shaft also journaled in theframe; means for driving the latter at a speed faster than that of theprimary shaft; said primary shaft pro jecting exterior of the frame; adouble crank-arm on such projecting end of the primary shaft;perpendicular pins on the extremities of such double crank-arm; thesecondary shaft extending beyond the extremity of the primary shaft andbeing provided with a crank in a plane'located exterior of the crank armof the primary shaft; a perpendicular pin on the extremities of suchcrank-arm and so located that the circle thereby described during therevolution of the secondary shaft will approximately intersect the axisof the primary shaft; and said perpendicular pins of the two crank-armsbeing opposed to and partly overlying each other.

2. In a candy pulling machine, the combination of a primary revolvingshaft; means for revolving such shaft; a secondary revolving shaft;means for driving the .latfor at a speed faster than that of the primaryshaft; a double crank-arm on said shaft; perpendicular pins on thecrank-arm on the secondary shaft in a plane lying exterior of the doublecrank-arm; and a perpendicular pin. on the extremities of such crank-armand so located that the circle thereby described during the revolutionof the secondary shaft Will approximately in tersect the axis of theprimary shaft.

3. In a candy pulling machine, the combination of a primary revolvingshaft; means for revolving such shaft; a secondary revolving shaft;means for driving the latter at a speed faster than that of the primaryshaft; a double crank-arm on said primary shaft; perpendicular pins onthe extremities of such double crank-arm; a crank-arm on the secondaryshaft in a plane lying exterior of the double crank-arm; a perpendicularpin on the extremities of'such crank-arm and so located that the circlethereby described during the revolution of the secondary shaft willapproximately intersect the axis of the primary shaft; and saidperpendicular pins of the two crank arms being opposed to and partlyoverlying each other.

4. In a candy pulling machine, the combiat a relatively greater speedthan the primary shaft; a double crank-arm on said primary shaft;perpendicular pins on the extremities of such double crank-arm; acrank-arm-on the secondary shaft in a plane lying exterior of the doublecrank-arm; and a perpendicular pin on the extremities of such crank-armand so located that the circle thereby described during the revolutionof the secondary shaft will approximately intersect the axis of theprimary shaft.

5. In a candy pulling machine, the combination of a primary revolvingshaft; means for revolving such shaft; a secondary revolving shaft;means for driving the latter at a speed faster than that of the pri maryshaft; a double crank-arm on said primary shaft; .perpendicular pins onthe extremities of such double crank-arm; a crank-arm on the secondaryshaft in a plane lying exterior of the double crank-arm; a perpendicularpin on the extremities of such crank-arm and so located that the circlethereby described during the revolution of the secondary shaft willapproximately intersect the axis of the primary shaft; and said pinsbeing formed with conical shoulders at both ends.

6. In a candy pulling machine, the combination of a primary revolvingshaft; 21. secondary revolving shaft; a double crank arm on said primaryshaft; a crank arm on the secondary shaft in a plane lying exterior ofthe double crank arm; perpendicular pins on the extremities of each ofsaid crank arms; and means for so relatively revolving said shafts thatthe pins on-.the crank arm of the secondary shaft Will pass between thepins on the double crank arm of the primary shaft during each instancethat the last mentioned pins are'approximately positioned in a planeintersecting theaxis of the secondary shaft.
